Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on ratifying the approval of the new contract #2026-076 between Thomson Reuters and Williamson County at the annual amount of $9,255.00 for year one (1), $9,717.72 for year two (2), and $10,203.60 for year three (3), for a new 36-month term and authorizing the execution of the contract, as per DIR contract #DIR-CPO-5258, terminating the current contract approved on 10.5.2021, under Agenda Item 11 which included multiple departments, in order to remove Constable Pct #4's portion from the existing agreement.

The original agreement was approved on 10.05.2021 as a combined contract for the County Judge's Office (General Counsel), DA, JP1 and Constable 4. Constable 4 has requested to be removed from the overall agreement. Instead of continuing with a consolidated agreement for the remaining three departments, each department will now have a stand-alone contract to provide each individual department with more flexibility for user and product management. The new contract provides the District Attorney's Office with access to the Thomson Reuters CLEAR Proflex research products. Contact Audit and General Counsel have reviewed the agreement and addendum.  Due to this being time-critical, the addendum had to be signed by the County Judge in advance of the Commissioners Court meeting.  Funding Source: 01.0100.0440.004210. Point of Contact: Doreen Meyers. Thomson Reuters is publicly traded, therefore no Form 1295 is required.
